most of the blogs i have just reviewed have picked up in one email from 1999 and without any context have suggested that this amounts to a global fraud perpetrated by communist taxophiles or some sinister political cabal. Even in this thread there is wild accusations ranging from scientist as nazi's to links with the Lisbon referendum.
this is what I mean by public confusion.
THere has been countless examples of real fraud among the climate change deniers. This fraud ranges from evidence of funding by questionable sources to outright lies. There is nothing that I have seen in these emails that proves that evidence of mans impact on climate change is a hoax or that there is any grand political conspiracy.
This is the email from 1999 that all the climate change denier blogs have picked up on.... what is the context?
are the climate change deniers grabbing at straws?

Dear Ray, Mike and Malcolm,Once Tim’s got a diagram here we’ll send that either later
today or first thing tomorrow. I’ve just completed Mike’s Nature
trick of adding in the real temps to each series for the last 20
years (ie from 1981 onwards) amd [sic] from1961 for Keith’s to
hide the decline. Mike’s series got the annual land and marine
values while the other two got April-Sept for NH land N of 20N.
The latter two are real for 1999, while the estimate for 1999
for NH combined is +0.44C wrt 61-90. The Global estimate for
1999 with data through Oct is +0.35C cf. 0.57 for 1998.Thanks for the comments, Ray.
Cheers, Phil
